This. I'm waiting on 3 redemptions of him...if the Reebok license expired before he wore/signed, they probably had to have him throw on the new Nike jerseys, hence that shield...

This is clearly the explanation. Of course they already made the card up and would never spend the money to reprint it, instead just package out a half-assed card like that one. They don't care...collectors will still buy it.

you do realize that this is the new nike logo, from a real nike jersey, right?

Yes, except that shield looks nothing like the ones off real jerseys. The real ones are more detailed, this shield is off a knock-off jersey. Hence why the card has been tampered with. The NFL shields on fake jerseys are like this one, shiny and glossy, while the real ones are more matte finished and have some 3D qualities to them.

Topps, for all of their failures would not do something this hideous.

Of course they would. Do you think any of the card companies take pride in the quality of their product? Not at all...all that they care is that people buy it.

The card's not tampered with.

When did any rookies wear the reebok jerseys? The Nike jerseys were used at the rookie premiere and since then this is proof the shield is from the rookie premiere and its off a Nike jersey check this item number out on eBay.

They probably didn't wear them, Topps just wants you to think they did.

There are a number of cards from 2012 Inception that feature not only the last Reebok logo shields (2008-2012) but even older ones (from 2007 and prior). Case in point...

To quote R. Lee Ermey, That card is "so ugly it could be a modern-art masterpiece!"

If it is real...shame on Topps, because that should've been scrapped on site.
If it's fake...shame on the faker, because that's just beyond laziness. At least have some pride in your degenerate activities.
